An apparatus is provided that includes a diamond bearing surface positioned in sliding engagement with an opposing bearing surface of a diamond reactive material. The opposing bearing surface is hardened via a material treatment.

An apparatus is provided that includes a diamond bearing surface positioned in sliding engagement with an opposing bearing surface of a diamond reactive material. A method of carrying a load in a device, comprising engaging a bearing surface with an opposing bearing surface, the bearing surface comprising polished polycrystalline diamond, the opposing bearing surface comprising a diamond-reactive material that is hardened through material processing.

A power transmission system is provided that includes a polycrystalline diamond power transmission surface engaged with a diamond solvent-catalyzed power transmission surface. A power transmission system includes a first component having at least one power transmission surface thereon comprising polycrystalline diamond, and a second component having at least one opposing power transmission surface comprising a material containing at least 2 weight percent diamond solvent-catalyst based on the total weight of the material, the first component being movably coupled to the second component such that the polycrystalline diamond is engaged with the diamond solvent-catalyst and such that movement of one of the first and second components drives movement of the other of the first and second components. The power transmission system may be or include gears, universal joints, or other power transmission systems or components.

The utility model relates to the technical field of bearings, in particular to a self-lubricating bearing which comprises two half bearings which are folded, a shaft passing hole is formed in the center of each half bearing, and a plurality of circumferential groove sections and a plurality of lubricating grooves are concavely formed in the inner side of each half bearing. A plurality of circumferential groove sections and a plurality of lubricating grooves are arranged around the central axis of the shaft passing hole at intervals in an annular array mode, the circumferential groove sections are communicated with the shaft passing hole through the lubricating grooves, a plurality of involution convex teeth and a plurality of involution tooth grooves are arranged on the periphery of the inner side of the half bearing, and each involution tooth groove is located between every two adjacent involution convex teeth. And when the two half bearings are oppositely combined, the oppositely combined convex teeth of one half bearing are inserted into the oppositely combined tooth grooves of the other half bearing. The two half-side bearings are the same in structure, convenient to produce and manufacture, good in interchangeability and capable of lubricating the rotating shaft, the two half-side bearings are meshed through the involution convex teeth and the involution tooth grooves when involution is conducted, assembling is convenient and fast, and lubricating oil can be stored in the circumferential groove section easily.

Linear bearings assemblies are provided that include polycrystalline diamond bearing surfaces that are engaged with diamond solvent-catalyst bearing. Also provided are methods of making and using linear bearing assemblies.

Power transmission systems are provided that include polycrystalline diamond power transmission surfaces that are engaged with diamond solvent-catalyst power transmission surfaces. The power transmission systems may be or include gears, universal joints, or other power transmission systems or components.
